Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. We encourage you to read our instructions for students. Your instructor may wish to add your class to our list of school and university projects and s/he may want to read these instructions for teachers. For more help about school projects using Wikipedia, see our classroom coordination project.

Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question.

You can place this text: {{EducationalAssignment}} on the discussion page of any articles you are working on.

While you are working on your article, sometimes it is good to work on it in userspace, instead of in mainspace. You can do this by creating a sandbox or subpage of your userpage such as User:Your Username/Article Title (replacing "Your Username" and the article title). Let me know if you need help.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your school assignment is finished! Katr67 (talk) 00:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

More personal welcome

Hey, I'm a fencer too! Here's an invite to WikiProject Oregon. We'll be glad to help you out around the wiki if you want. Cheers! Katr67 (talk) 00:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

You are invited to join WikiProject Oregon, a WikiProject dedicated to improving articles related to the U.S. state of Oregon. You received this invitation because of your history editing Oregon articles or discussion of Oregon topics. The Oregon WikiProject group discussion is here. If you are interested in joining, please visit the project page, and add your name to the list of participants. New members may read about existing members and introduce themselves here.

What Katr said. If you or your students have any questions, just ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon. It's a very active project, and the people there are pretty knowledgable. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 03:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
